What is the difference between processing time and block time?

Processing time allows for other bookings while the client waits. Blocked time adds a gap for the team members between appointments for cleaning or preparation.

Can I create packages that require multiple staff members?

Yes, use the "Booked-in parallel" schedule type for packages like manicures & pedicures that require multiple staff members. Make sure that the services are allocated to the relevant team members at the time of booking.
